About Big Ei8ht Middle School Sports

Tryout information can be found on each individual middle school page found below.

Teams in the BIG EI8HT Middle School Sports Conference compete with local middle schools in and outside the district. Approximately 1,000 student-athletes are being served from Earl Warren in Solana Beach, Diegueno and Oak Crest in Encinitas, Martin Luther King, Jr. in Oceanside, and Carmel Valley (as charter members of the BIG EI8HT). Associate members include Bishops, Francis Parker and Rancho Santa Fe. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify. Game locations vary with each sport and school.

Participating Middle Schools

All local 6th grade students are able to participate in the Big 8 “No-Cut” sport offered in that season. You are required to participate at the middle school in closest proximity to your physical residence. 6th grade participants will compete against all 6th & 7th grade athletes in our JV division, while all 8th graders participate in the varsity program. Athletes are not allowed to “play-up” or “play-down” in terms of the division.
